Field Notes

Use this small floating beetle-style plug on rivers and streams when trout are feeding on insects or looking up near the surface. Cast it tight to banks, under overhanging cover, or along current seams and retrieve it slowly with occasional twitches to imitate a struggling bug.

Pros

  • Very small profile for selective trout
  • Floating design works well in shallow water and current
  • Handmade balsa body can give a natural presentation

Cons

  • Single small hook may be less forgiving on short strikes
  • Best suited to surface-feeding fish rather than deep water
